The Mexican was amazing with Feyenoord, but in the Rossoneri he penalizes him to have to participate in the maneuver. And the fans wonders if a center forward like this can only work in Holland …
Gimenez’s numbers at Milan

From there nothing more: lightness is slowly vanished, replaced by the weight of responsibilities and the shirt. While of opportunities to mark in his own way, less and less were seen. General performance did not help, as well as the game development that Milan continues to change in search of fluidity. What is certain is that new duties are asked for saints: among its duties there is no longer only to station in the area and transform any possible chance in danger, but also to dialogue with the companions and participate in the maneuver, consequently retreating the range of action. If you score is his favorite subject, he struggles on the rest and still has a lot to study. The numbers and mathematics say it is not an opinion: 7.7 is the data relating to the games in the opposing area of the first part of the season 2024-25, that is, when Santiago was at Feyenoord. The fee has practically halved since AC Milan arrived: 4.4. The conclusions towards the door and the opportunities created (from 1 to 0.4) also decreased, while the steps increased: in Holland it had an average of 7.6 per game, in the Rossoneri by almost 10. The goals go by itself: 16 in 19 games in the first months at Feyenoord, one every 75 minutes of play; At Milan the turnover reduced to three in 13 races, one every 256 ‘. In relation to the value of the card, 28.5 million, a network costs 9.5. However, it will have time to reward spending and waiting: the club will have to put it in conditions of enhancing (and enhance the investment) with a new type of game (and a new coach) that allows him to make the best.
Gimenez in crisis at Milan
–
Better than that, for sure: Gimenez does not score in A from February 15, and 8 games have passed since then. In three of the last four, including the Italian Cup derby, the Mexican started from the bench while in the Goleada of Udine he was absent for injury. From today, at the resumption of preparation, it should be regularly in a group. Atalanta and Inter are the next Rossoneri commitments and also two excellent tests to give comforting answers to the initial question: “Gimenez has the right features to adapt to our football?”. Or such a center forward can work only in Holland, where the defenses are less pressing? The answer, as always, will give it time: and to Saints a period of natural setting must also be granted.
